We went to Isabelle's for pre-dinner drinks and were so happy with this decision. I ended up getting the Pink Linen cocktail, which had lovely raspberry and vanilla notes. It came with a cute little chocolate that paired perfectly with my drink. We also got some complimentary light snacks with our drinks, which was a nice surprise. The crowd was intimate and felt really warm, maybe it was the cozy fire in the fireplace, and with the attentive service, I felt completely taken care of. It's the perfect spot to start the evening of a sweet date night. read more

Isabelle’s - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Isabelle's is one of the most beautiful rooms in Dallas. It's in the new'ish Hotel Swexan in the Harwood District near downtown. It's definitely a destination when you want an elevated cocktail experience. We visited over the holidays for the first time in awhile. It was nice to be back because there's a uniqueness feeling like you could be in Chicago or New York or London. The space is intimate, classy and has a vintage vibe. The service is as quality as the cocktail program. The martini cart is really fun which I highly recommend. They provide a memorable experience with whatever variation of martini you enjoy. I had a Vesper which is my favorite. James Bond couldn't of been wrong since it was his go to. It's simply gin, vodka and Lillet which is a French fortified wine. Of course capped off with a lemon twist. (Photo 2) Check out this fantastic space next time you're looking for an outing with friends. Salute @thejohnnycocktail @hotelswexan @isabellesdallas #cocktails #cocktailphotography #dallas Vesper Martini 2 oz. gin 1 oz. Vodka 1/2 oz. Lillet Lemon garnish read more

Came back on Sunday morning to give Isabelle's one more chance. Marylyn helped us and completely changed the experience. She got us set up with the right coffee, the right drinks, and made sure we were taken care of before we went to minister. She was genuinely friendly and attentive. That kind of recovery matters. Based on what they did Sunday morning, I am giving them five stars. read more

Great cocktail bar in hotel swexan. I actually prefer this spot to Babous (their downstairs concept that's focused a little more on the later night and party crowd). Isabelle's is higher end than Babous from a hosting and ambiance perspective for fancy craft cocktails. The ambiance is quiet, cozy, and authentic. The cocktails are top notch and always served with some small bites like they do in Europe. I particularly like their negornis and old fashioned. read more

Located in the lobby of The Hotel Swexan, this classy restaurant offers breakfast, brunch, and a great place to grab a cocktail in the afternoon or evening. I mainly came here for the breakfast. It definitely doesn't disappoint! I had their Swexan Breakfast, the best smoked chicken sausage ever! Poached eggs and sourdough toast with bacon, also didn't disappoint, very tasty and sooo flavorful! The lovely service completely made it more special. With swanky classic music playing in the background, it completed the natural atmosphere!!! I really enjoyed my breakfast, so Hotel Swexan! Highly recommended! read more

javier made this visit phenomenal! pinnacle of service. he took time to talk with my group, accommodated us bringing a birthday cake, got us food before the kitchen closed, and took us for a tour/peak of the speakeasy even though it wasn't open this night. the bar itself was a cozy library style lounge and decorated beautifully for christmas. from the valet guys out front to javi's devotion, we were treated so well from start to finish. read more

Isabelle’s - Mimosas by the fire - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I'm so glad we stumbled upon this gem tucked just past the lobby of Hotel Swexan. Isabella's is a small but super charming spot, with a cozy lounge vibe that felt like we were sipping cocktails in chic living room. The staff were super attentive, and took great care of us. The drinks were also top-notch. The lemon drop martini was my favorite with the cosmo being not too far behind. A really small detail that really elevated the experience was the little touch of hors d'oeuvres chips, olives, and nuts that came with our cocktails. If you're looking for a relaxed, intimate place to unwind, especially during the winter months, I can't recommend Isabella's enough. It's the perfect spot to sip, chill, and enjoy great service. 10/10 will absolutely be back! read more

It is really a whole experience. It is a small quaint place. The area is small but elegant. The lounge setting is comfortable. The service was great and the servers were very attentive. The drinks were perfect and strong. We got the lemon drop,lychee and DD. The steak sandwich is flavorful and meaty. The Caesar salad was good, but needs more lemon and pepper. The breakfast plate was filling. The potato cake and chicken sausage a must try. I suggest big parties over 5 check out the other restaurants. It is perfect for a girls breakfast catch up and a small family meet up of 4. I will definitely be back. It is a really nice concept. read more

Omar was amazing! I've been here a couple of times for drinks but today I came for a Valentine's Day martini and bites experience. Coming from someone who is heavily seasoned in Dallas high tea/martini and bites scene I will say this was beyond amazing. The tower of bites was beyond delicious (special shout out to the truffle mac and cheese ball) the drinks were fantastic and the ambiance was next level. The vibe is very romantic and lowkey and all of the workers were so sweet. I will definitely come back more often! Hopefully they do more specials like the bites tower bc the experience was oh so awesome. Thank you hotel swexan and thank you Omar! read more

This place was not what I was expecting at all. Very small and a bit stuffy to me. I stopped by for after dinner cocktails and desserts on a whim. Service was a bit odd maybe because they were still new ish. We sat outside on their balcony/patio which was nice. Overall the expresso martinis and desserts were really good! I thoroughly enjoyed them. I would love to try their lunch/brunch. read more

Came to Isabelle's spontaneously on a date night after visiting Babou's downstairs. I really enjoyed my time here! Isabelle's is mainly a martini bar but have a full bar at hand. We ordered espresso martinis with tequila and they tasted like ice cream - so well done. You're even served a set of 3 free snacks: salty potato chips, assortment of nuts and olives. The vibe is upscale, the aesthetic is very Bridgerton/high tea, and the hostess' are very kind and beautiful. Definitely will be back! read more

Great location, the service was amazing, the staff was very attentive and caring. Would especially highlight the staff. The lobster salad was delicious and the stake was high quality and cooked well. The interior is pretty, brings you back to chick places that feel like home. Reminded me of King Cole in New York. I'll definitely come again. What could be improved: - menu selection is rather small, especially if you are looking for smth without bread - most mains have a lot of carbs (sandwiches, pasta) - i was seated in the middle of the room right before the shift change, and due to the shift change i had between 20 to 30 staff members passing by as they have the hotel back office behind the restaurant. Not a big deal, but was a bit distracting as I was working, a heads up would have been appreciated read more

Isabelle’s - Salad and steak - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My food was great, but the service was honestly a little bad, which is a shame because this dish and ambiance was so nice. This restaurant just isn't capable of handling a party larger than two. Service was slow, our table was moved, and we had to repeat things multiple times before we actually got them. We were also definitely overcharged and did not receive an itemized bill. You'll be able to take some lovely photos, but I don't recommend coming here at all. There are other cute restaurants in Dallas with good food. read more

Wanted to drop by get something small to eat. Sat out side and no one came to help me after the hostess. Saw all the employees around the bar and just walked inside mentioned they seemed sooo busy and left. New spot maybe the employees are still training with communication. Won't come back and waste my time again. Inside is pretty quaint idk how anyone would've missed me especially after the hostess took my name and number down then sat me. read more

I won the Fourth of July long weekend staycation discussion and almost won the how great was the Swexan debate until our brunch order arrived with the avocado toast on white bread and not on whole wheat bread like we had requested. Otherwise we loved the patio seating and enjoyed taking our time with the assortment of chef's choice pastries, vegetable crudités, and avocado toast. It was really almost the perfect breakfast after a long night of waiting for the baby to fall asleep. Why doesn't avocado toast default to whole wheat or multigrain bread? Because wellness at the Swexan is a trend and not a deeply held ethical life principle. Oh well. read more

One of my all-time favorite places in Dallas to grab cocktails. The best vibes and the coldest martini ever. The staff is fantastic, too!

If upscale relaxation, supreme decor, and amazing cocktails are what your day call for; Isabelle's is your place. From valet, to the friendly front desk staff, the European boutique hotel ambiance of Hotel Swexan will enchant you, and your guest. Great to know you don't have to be a guest staying with Swexan to treat yourself to an enjoyable time at Isabelle's, however the experience is even nicer if you do. From breakfast, to the evening bar menu, you'll find the perfect accompaniments for your beverages of choice, thanks to the well stocked bar, management's attention to detail and unmatched excellence. Open daily, Isabelle's closes a little earlier during the week, so plan accordingly. Can't wait to share time with you at Isabelle's ! Xoxo Lorenzo! read more

Had the most relaxing breakfast and service was incredible thank you Omar and Jerry! :)

Service wasn't great. We did a white elephant Christmas here and barely got waited on. Drinks were slow too. Food was meh. This is more of a hotel lounge than a restaurant so don't expect a real table unless you sit on the patio. Also, a few of our guests had allergies and they did not seem well-versed in making sure our dishes were safe for them. Overall wouldn't return unless I stayed at the hotel read more

Cute spot, very intimate! Great for patio season! I enjoy this place for mid-week when it isn't as busy!

The lobster Cobb salad was so good and fresh, the server and server assistant were very nice and welcoming. Excellent service, love this little spot! I will definitely be coming back! read more
